VCC-ITV
Notes:
This is an ATGM vehicle used by Italy and Saudi Arabia.
It is the VCC-1 with an ITV system mounted on the deck, and the requisite
automatic reloading machinery, as in the M-901 ITV.
The
MG42/59
MG is retained as the commander’s machinegun. The interior is taken up with the
mount for the ITV system and ammunition storage.
The original engines
were the same as the M113A2 – a 6V53 diesel engine – but the engine output is
somewhat different at 215 horsepower. The driver’s controls are improved,
including a driver’s yoke, gas pedal, and brake pedal. Later modifications have
had an increase to 275 horsepower along with a new transmission.
For operations in Somalia, Iraq, and Afghanistan, some VCC-ITVs were
fitted with a further appliqué armor kit; ridged aluminum, developed from that
used on the US AAPV7A1, was added to sides of the vehicle, while frontal armor
was improved by the addition of flat aluminum plates.
